Shinjin Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Hi Guys, I'm new here. I've been around the site for only two weeks now but I've done a fair share of reading. Well I recently visited the world-renowned "guru" of hookah/shisha, Mr. Tangiers himself, at his place in San Diego. To my surprise, he wasn't intimidating at all. I came in with my girlfriend and he very cordially showed me around, and I got a chance to smoke Tangiers tobacco packed and fired up by the man himself (he also included free lessons on how to properly pack his tobacco, the exact elements that comprise his tobacco, and a sh*tload of other miscallaneous facts and minute details about science, the gulf of mexico and humidity... it kinda made me feel like I was in chemistry again). Nevertheless, he never went off tangent and assured me that everything he was telling had to do with hookah, and he was pretty convincing at that. Now...onto my review of his tobacco: I ordered Watermelon but the humidity wasn't too great that night, so it didn't quitteeee taste like watermelon. I mean, it did taste like SOMETHING, but it wasn't precisely watermelon and it definitely didn't taste bad. However, upon the very first hit, I noticed a gob of smoke. I was fairly impressed. It usually takes my hookah a few hits to get going, but this sh*t was on crack on the first try. Furthermore, the buzz was simply amazing. I was buzzing like f*ck after only a few hits, and it felt like my head was gonna explode. It definitely packs a nicotine punch. My girlfriend, however, didn't fancy it too much later on that night - she started to feel a little sick. She doesn't smoke cigarettes or anything (like I do), so I'm sure the nicotine buzz was a little too intense for her. Anywho, I think Tangiers isn't for the faint of heart; if you enjoy buzzing, I think Tangiers is definitely the way to go. Likewise, if you're more of a flavor person than a buzz person, I'd suggest to sample his stuff before you buy it in bulk. -Jess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookahnoob Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 How about the atmosphere, food and any other detales about the place itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonthert Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 No food, Americanski. Only smokeski...also capitalist stooge brand sodaskis. Good review. The weather for the past couple of days has been sheer death for smoking. It will smooth out soon (I hope...I sent a bribe to the weatherman).
